Pregnancy, Red Raspberry and Nettle

Q: Dear Susun,

I'm 4 weeks pregnant and i'm very excited!!! I want to take
red raspberry and alternate it with nettles, is that ok ? I want to prevent any
chance of miscarriage. Is red raspberry ok to use in my 1st trimester? thank
you so much for your time.

A: Congratulations!! Yes, these are two wonderful
infusions to drink through your pregnancy. Red Raspberry is superb
especially in the first trimester, and especially for those dealing with
nausea. Nettle is especially superb for the last trimester for its
vitamin K content. And, yes, do please alternate both through your whole
pregnancy, do a little more of one or the other as your cravings dictate. :)
